Seth Rollins Talks About The Return Of The Curb Stomp

When Seth Rollins first arrived on the WWE main roster, he was putting his opponents down with the Curb Stomp, but eventually the move was banned.

Rollins then tried out a few new finishers, but it appears that the move is back as he’s been using it as of late, and he recently told The Des Moines Register that it’s been exciting to connect with an old friend.

“I was pretty excited to reconnect with an old friend. It’s been three years since I’ve been able to perform the move. Obviously, it got a nice reaction from the crowd and from the online audience as well. It was exciting to bring it back and hopefully moving forward it’d be a nice piece to add to my arsenal.”

In the summer of 2016, Seth Rollins had the chance to become the first ever Universal Champion when he faced Finn Balor for the vacant title at SummerSlam, but in the end it was Finn who won the belt.

Rollins noted that although there’s no personal animosity between the two Raw stars, their rivalry is still strong.

“Finn and I obviously have a competitive rivalry based off the fact that we’re both world-traveled athletes. We’ve been doing this for a long time and we both have our eye on the same prize, which is being the best, being the Universal Champion. Every time we get the opportunity to step into the ring with each other, we’re going to push each other to be the best and to go to that next level. There’s definitely no personal animosity there, I think we’re just trying to push the limits of what’s the best wrestling that you can see on TV is.”
